To all whbwiitinu-g cohcerai" e j v a Be; it known that i I, ERNEST 1 GGLOBEN- SKY," a citiz'enxof-the United States, residing at Goldwater,the. county of Branch and 1 State of Michigan," have invented certain"lnew and useful Improvements 'in a Nursery- Chairs,iofwhichthefollowingis alspecifica :This invention comprehends. certain newand useful improvements in nursery chairs,

"and has fOI'dt-S primaryfobje'ct to:provide; a device of this characterwhich "will" be of simpleconstruction 'and*provided 'with imp rovedandnovel means for retaining in position against the-under, face of theseat a chamber which maybe readily removed Another object is to providea nursery chair which will be provided with resilient clamp membersformretaininga chamber in engagement with the under face of theapertured seatand preventing accidental movement ofjsaid chamberfduring'use of v the device. 5

A- further object of the invention is to provide" a device" of thischaracter in which the chamber holding means will be of such (form thatthe chamber may be readily se- "cured'in position or removed and will'be"held in positi onin such manner that 'it will while the chair isheld'fstationary before the chamber may be removed from theclampmembers.

"A further obj'edt of this invention is to provide a nursery [chair ofthischaracter inwhich the'chamber" and supporting means for the samewill be out of sight whenthe sliding seat cover .is in positionfand" therear curtain for the lo'we'rkpart of the chair;

is in closed position.

I 1' With these and other obj ects'flin i will become more apparent asthede'scription proceeds, theinvention consists ince'rtain. novelfeatures of construction, combination and arrangementofparts aswilllowing description be hereinafter more fully described and claimed. g v

For a complete understanding of my -invention, reference a is to be hadto the fol and accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is alongitudinal vertical section through the device, with the chamber and"the sliding seat cover in proper position,

Referring in detail to the drawings by numerals, 1 designates the back,2the arms, 3 thefapertured seat'and 4 the legs of a nursery 'chair,"withwhich I have provided a sliding seat cover, 5 which may be readily movedto position upon the apertured seat Bby sliding said cover 5 between thearms 2. It will be readily seen that the sliding cover 5 may be placedin position upon the apertured seat 3 when the chair is to be .used asan ordmary chair or removed from position upon the apertured seat 3 whenthe device is to be used as a nursery chair. In'order to readily andsecurelyv fasten [a chamber 6 in position against theunder face of theapertured seat 3, below the aperture of said seat, I have provided apair of stationary spring clamp members 7 secured by thelr rear ends tothe under face of the apertured bottom 3 at the rear side of theapertureof'said seat,'as shown at 8, the forward ends of said stationary springclamp-members 7 being free and slightly spaced from theb otto'm 3 inorder that the vrear edge "of theoppositely directed flange 9 of thechamber 6, may be readily engaged between said free ends ofthestationary spring clamp members 7 and the seat 3. I j' have alsoprovided a curved movablespring clamp member '10 formed. of a suitable-re--' "silient metal and in the form of a curved bar having itsopposite} ends engaged fthrough the guide ears ll' projectingdownwardlyfrom the bottom 3'to opposite sides of ;the forward portioiiof the apertured I seat and. curved in such'manner that when win' normalposition, the central portion of said spring member 10 extends acrossthe forward portion of the seat aperture, as clearly shown in Fig. 4.The opposite ends 12 of the spring clamp member 10 are bent atsubstantially right angles to prevent said springclamp member 10 fromworking out of the guide ears ll, owing to longitudinal movement ofsaidspring clamp member in either direction, being limited by theengagement of the ends 12there0f with the guide cars 11. y

I have shown the device as being provided with stationary curtains13depending the central portion of the spring clampf -me1nber-10'outWardly and bring1ng=the ends 12 against the guide ears 11, asshown in Fig. 3, the central portion of the sprlngi clamp member 10sliding'over the-flange 9.;

The rear portion of the flange :9 :is theni forced into engagement withsaid;v underi face of the'seat 8-a'nd the chamber Gallon/ed} *to move'rearwardly under action of thej sprin g clamp member 10, thereby."forcing a the rear edge of'the flange 9b'etween the free ends of'thestati onay clamp'members 7 3 and the under face of the bottom The;spring clamp members-f7 are'positioned at; such pointsthat rearwardmovement of the chamber 6 is limited soas to stop-the cham- 'berdirectly beneath the aperture of the seat :3' and retainthe spring clampmember l0l: under tension, thereby securely clam-ping; "the'chamber 6 inposition for use. When it 'is desired to 'removethe chamber 6, how-;-eVer,the'handle lomay begraspedfand the} 'chamber forced forwardlysuflicientto dis i engage the :rear edge of the ;fiange-9 fromf thestationary spring-clamp membersfZ and: therear portion' of the chamberlowered suf- I ficiently to avoid the stationary spring clamp f members7 then the-complete device drawn; rearwardly until disengaged from thespring clamp member 10 and the latteris returned; to its :normalposition. It Will be readily "understood that "the rear curtain 14"maybe swung outwardly during the operationvof:

insertingthe chamber 6 between the 'clampj:
